A suspected Banksy artwork has appeared overnight on the side of a building near Finsbury Park in London.
The artwork shows a splattering of green which has been painted behind a bare tree to look like foliage, with a stencil of a person holding what appears to be a pressure hose next to it.
The artwork has already been gathering Banksy fans to the location on Hornsey Road in north London as they inspect it to see if it could be the real thing.
James Peak, who created the BBC Radio 4 series The Banksy Story, rushed to the scene after receiving a tip-off.

He told the BBC: ‘To my mind it looks like a dead cert.
‘But as ever with Banksy – you never quite know, until he fesses up by posting it on his website.’
Banksy fans have been keeping careful watch on the secretive artists social media channels to see if the Finsbury Park painting, which appeared on Sunday gets confirmed.
